random.negativeBinomial
random.negativeBinomial(mu: number, d: number) 🡒 number, pure function
Returns a deviate sampled from a negative binomial distribution of mean mu and of variance $σ^2 = d * μ$ where d is the dispersion. The mean must be non-negative. The dispersion must be greater or equal to 1.

When the dispersion equals 1, the function random.negativeBinomial is the same as random.poisson.
random.negativeBinomial(mu: number, d: number, zeroInflation: number) 🡒 number, pure function
Overload of the random.negativeBinomial, that returns a deviate sampled from a negative binomial distribution inflated in zero. This probability distribution is the mixture between a dirac in 0 (with a weight equal to the zeroInflation) and the negative binomial of mean mu and of dispersion d (with a weight equal to $1-zeroInflation$). zeroInflation should be in the range $[0, 1]$.
